I have nothing of interest to say at the moment but I hate having old journals up, so here's a picture of one of my cats. He is my best little buddy in the world and I just wanna squish his little squishy face alllllllll day long. He sits behind me while I work all day, so he's technically my assistant. And a great assistant he is, especially when he drips all over my pages.

cats can be assholes because they understand the human/pet dynamic aka 'it doesn't really matter what i do these idiots will keep on feeding me'. dogs on the other hand have an innate fear of rejection which is why so many people think they're insurmountably loyal. my cat likes to wait until i'm in the middle of ANYTHING AT ALL and sit on top of it. and otherwise sulk.

I'm obvs a cat person but I like dogs too, even if they err towards being kinda stupid freqently, thats what makes them loveable. I feel like a dog needs you to take care of it, a cat lets you take care of it. I have no doubt my cats love me to varying degrees, one stops eating whenever Im gone for more than a week, but when they know you're not going anywhere they dont worry, meanwhile dogs think every time you walk out the door you're gone forever into the abyss.

i like dogs, conceptually. been talking about getting a bulldog forever. i'm not sure i'm ready for something that side of needy though. but i agree, i think the loyalty of cats is underrated; mine waits for me by the front door, which induces all kinds of guilt if i'm away for a few days.

The high maintenance-ness of dogs is honestly what's kept me from getting one because I just dont know if I can get used to how much they really do need. I've only ever had cats and I can't imagine if they had to be walked every time they had to piddle, I feel like I'd be walking them every hour! I know one of my friends has to drive home every day during her lunch hour or her dogs tears her apartment apart, if I drove home on my lunch break my cats wouldn't even get their asses up. I love walking dogs but I dunno if I'd like to do it at 4 am on a rainy evening or anything.

How many cats do you have, out of curiosity? I know about Wicket, of course, but there's Totchi, Nephi, Serph, and Raidou too. Am I missing anyone?They're all such pretty cats, it is awesome that they get along, or so it seems. Haha!

You must watch my Instagram XD yeah thats all of them! and they do get along really well for the most part, Neph attacks Totchi and Raidou attacks Neph, but even after they fight they go back to laying together in little cat balls on the bed so it's a pretty peaceful cat household.

Tumblr, actually! But yes! That's so wonderful. Curled up kitties is the best. xD I simply adore cats, and I'm always fascinated by the ones that actually get on well in groups. My cats back home all had rivalries, the female hated both the boys, the boys loved each other, and while one boy picked on the girl, the other boy beat him up for doing it. They're so strange, hahah!

Oh yeah that tumblr is just a mirror for my Insta lol. Raidou and Serph are boyfriends no doubt, but the rest of the males all are buddies too, then Neph is the only female and she's pretty much in charge of everyone, except for Raidou who's the only one that can dominate her. she doesnt take any shit from him, but he's really aggressive towards her and I think thats just cause she's the only female. Wicket on the other hand basically worships the ground Nephi walks on and follows her everywhere like a little lovesick pup lol. Wicket loves everyone really tho. I've never met a friendlier kitty.

Aww, that is adorable! I'm picturing the dynamic in my head, hahah and of course, it's voiced over in Japanese like this: [link] (Except adult cat voices.)The silliest and most awesome thing about my new kitty, Gabriel, is that he plays fetch. I sit on the couch playing video games or drawing and he just drops something by me, I throw it and he brings it back, just like a dog. Except with less slobber on the toy. Cats have such great and varied personalities. Thanks for telling me a bit about yours. :3

Some cats are great at fetch! Raidou is a fetcher, his favorite toy is an old collar of Nephi's and he brings it to my feet all the time when I'm at the desk and meows till I throw it for him and then he brings it right back. He's also the one who always catches mice, he's a little hunter that doesnt know what to do with his energy lol.

Ah! So adorable! I love it when they are so responsive to play. Especially when they're no longer kittens, it's just a great way to keep them active, so you don't get pudgy kitty syndrome. (Which happened to my one cat back home. He's so fat.) My kitten here, Gabriel, will fetch nearly anything. He really likes my old rank insignia and the straps I use to blouse my uniform pants. I think the cutest thing he does is greet me when I come home. He always wants to be picked up, and then he wraps his arms around my neck and gives me kisses. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's a dog. I kind of wish he meowed more, he's got this really sweet mew, which I'm hoping he doesn't grow out of. I wish I could get him a companion, but it's just not in the cards right now. Ah well!
